What Is Correct Current Name?

Question

Sherry Bordorf married Gordon Goodman and had children with the LNAB of Goodman.  Gordon died and she married Richard Watt, however she continued to use the name Sherry Goodman and did not use Watt as a last name.

Should the Current Name be Goodman, as that is the name she used, with Watt as an "Other Name"?

Comments

sounds reasonable to me.

I agree that the CLN should be Goodman, since that's what she used.  But if she never used Watt at all, I wouldn't list it, even as other.  

My 2 cents.  :-)

She did use Watt socially and occasionally is also seen as Goodman-Watt, but she was known by the name Goodman.

Answer 1

If Sherry Watt is on the marriage certificate then it should be Watt known as Goodman....

In my experience, marriage certificates typically name the two people who were married. They don't indicate what the woman's name was after the marriage.

it was a second marriage...........
